    Michel:

    Couple of things to recommend your enduser on their own access point:

    1. Change the SSID to a unique one (combination of letters, numbers and
    special characters)
    2. Disable boradcasting of SSID (the client will need to specifically
    transmit the specific SSID instead of the access point/router beaconing the
    SSID)
    3. Enable MAC filtering (in the access point, enter in the MAC filtering
    table the MAC address of the client card - WLAN NIC/PCMCIA card)
    4. Establish 128 bit+ encryption (in his case, with the Dlink 614+ he can go
    up to 256 bit encryption).

    Go to - http://www.dlink.com/products/?pid=20 for more information on his
    wireless AP.

    Good Luck!

    Hi,
            I have a user who uses a wireless network at home. He just asked me
    (it's a director) to find a way to avoid his laptop (Toshiba tecra running
    XP Pro) connecting on the neighbor's router instead of his. He has a D-Link
    614+, I don't know this model at all so I'm asking you guys if you know
    614+a
    way to restrict his laptop to only HIS router.

    As you can see, I'm not very familiar with Wireless :/

    Thanks for any inputs
